Willy Hernangomez

Willy Hernangomez scored six points (3-5 FG) and pulled down three rebounds in the Pels' win over Dallas.

Fantasy Impact

OK then. After picking up two quick fouls, starter Jonas Valanciunas hardly played the rest of the Pelicans' contest on Wednesday. In his stead, Hernangomez and Jaxson Hayes split the workload. Hernangomez was outplayed and outproduced by Hayes, but their production recently are just about identical. You're not scrambling to pick up either backup big, but if you're a Valanciunas manager, keep a close eye on who's behind him. Hernangomez is averaging 9.7 points in 16 minutes per game in March.

Willy Hernangomez logged 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT) to go along with six rebounds and two assists Tuesday night.

Fantasy Impact

The 23 minutes for Hernangomez marks a season-high as Jaxson Hayes received his first start of the season in a matchup with Nikola Jokic's Nuggets. While this game is an outlier, it is important to point out that New Orleans may look to make some lineup changes in the midst of their five-game skid. In other words, Hernangomez could see more minutes going forward as a backup big.

Willy Hernangomez has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Nets.

Fantasy Impact

Hernangomez is in line to see a bigger role if he is healthy with Zion Williamson sidelined and especially if Larry Nance Jr. also remains sidelined.

Willy Hernangomez recorded 17 points (5-8 FG, 7-7 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 26 minutes off the bench in Thursday's blowout win over Portland.

Fantasy Impact

Hernangomez tallied his second straight double-double while shooting 62.5% from the field on Thursday. The minutes are difficult to trust as the center is only averaging 16.4 per game on the season. If the minutes can stay consistently up, it will be interesting to see if the production will follow. The 27-year-old will look to build off of his last two games when the Pelicans visit the Grizzlies on Saturday.

Willy Hernangomez totaled 26 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3PT, 7-7 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, and one steal in the Pelicans’ 117-112 win over the Hawks on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Hernangomez double-doubled in the Pelicans’ win over the Hawks on Sunday scoring 17.0 points and collecting 10.0 rebounds. Willy can be an excellent flier for your lineups given his strong point-per-minute production but can be a risky fantasy asset to leverage given his efficiency based value and a crowed frontcourt that can make him difficult to roster. However, the possible reward for doing so could significantly alter the potential production of your roster by allowing the addition of more elite assets.
